I was taking inventory in my SharkBite Bar and found that I had a lot of bottles that only had 2-3 inches of rum in them. I’m gonna make Main Tai’s with them til they’re all used up. Gotta make room for the incoming full bottles. I Have plenty of Meyer’s so tonight the other rums were Boltran and Plantation. I enjoyed em both.
Cheers

Furiemir, that Mai tai looks good.

I'm having Trader Vic's Daiquiri with a twist

2 oz silver rum
1 oz fresh grapefruit juice, trying to use up my fresh white grapefruits
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz maraschino liquor.
Very good.

Saturn

Happy weekend!

Hey Treg,
That mug is supercool!
Is this recipe anything like yours?
Saturn
1 1/4 oz Gin (Bombay Dry)
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Passion Fruit Syrup (Trader Tiki)
1/4 oz Orgeat (Trader Tiki)
1/4 oz Falernum (Velvet)
I really like St George Gin (it’s a botanical gin)-would it work in this drink?
Mahalo

Had a nice Mai Tai ( Meyers and Kaniche) and was gonna finish with a Rum Barrel. I had everything in the shaker but the oj. I went into the house to get the juice ( my bar frige was full of other essentials) and sadly I had no oj. Not wanting to toss what I had in the shaker I subbed Pineapple juice. Not a Rum Barrel but very drinkable nonetheless.
Cheers

Just made my first Port au Prince. Used the Smuggler's Cove modified recipe:
1 ½ oz. Rhum Barbancourt Five Star
½ oz. Lime juice
½ oz. Pineapple juice
½ oz. Velvet Falernum
¼ oz. Simple syrup
Dash grenadine
Dash Angostura Bitters

Pulse all ingredients with crushed ice for two seconds in a blender (do not make slushy).

Subbed 3 star for 5 star and Fees for Velvet - cut the falernum sightly. Still a drinkable, refreshing, and unique tasting drink. I'll be making more!

Thanks! New mug :)

Yes that is the same recipe I use. I used Ballast Point Old Grove Gin in mine. It is one of my favorites, try it some time if you get the chance. I also made my own Falernum and Orgeat. I think making your own Falernum really makes the drink. I will post my recipe for it soon, people keep asking me for it. I pretty much stopped using Velvet Falernum, I don't think it has a lot of flavor.

I have not tried St George Gin, but I will pick up some on your suggestion. I was kind of turned off to their brand after spending $60 on their Agricole rum ((Tastes like olives)(YUCK!)). Saturn is one of my all time favorite tiki drinks, I make them all the time!

PS: I think that St George Gin would make a good Saturn, being botanical.

Zombie from Saturday...

Zombie from yesterday...

Man, dat Zombie in da hurricane glass looks good! I used the last of my PF syrup on Rum Barrels this evening so I won’t get to try the Saturn til tomorrow night.
Mahalo
Btw, I ran a little bit short of my homemade pf syrup so I subbed Bundeberg Passionfruit beverage (carbonated) and did not add soda. Very tasty! Hope I can remember what I did next time that I’m behind the bar,

Finally drinking at home again! Tonight I decided to make a 151 Swizzle w/LH 151, subbing the simple syrup with cinnamon syrup. I regretted it at first, but after the ice has dilluted slightly this is actually very very nice!

Decided to have one more. Put double the amount of Kirk and Sweeney Rum in my Rum Babalu in error. Very pleasant accident!
Cheers

Mike- the Zombie was good

Tonight's fun

Treg- thanks for the heads up on the Rum party

Just created my variation on the zombie,calling it Fure's Walking Dead Punch. Planning to make a big batch on Sunday. Having a bbq with friends.

Recipe:

• 1 ounce light rum (i used havana club 3)
• 1 ounce dark rum (i used appleton estate v/x)
• 1 ounce 151-proof dark rum (optional)(dont have any yet :( )
• 1 ounce orange curacao liqueur
• 1/2 ounce pink grapefruit
• 1/2 ounce lime juice
• 1 1/2 ounces orange juice
• 1 1/2 ounces passion fruit puree (or syrup)
• ¼ ounce falernum
• 1/4 ounce grenadine
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters

The Below Decks -- I just looked up your Millionaire Cocktail shown in the preceding post, the articles I found piqued my curiosity and I'll have to try it. Nice photo, coupe glass and all!

Tribute to The Mai-Kai’s 151 Swizzle, v.4

Newly enhanced recipe coming soon.

Started with a 1944 Mai Tai followed by a Quiet Birdman Cooler, Three Dots and a Dash and ending with a flaming Shrunking Skull at Tacoma Cabana. Had some Spam Musubi and Pupu's along the way while Martin Dennys music played to honor his birthday.

aloha, tikicoma

Two drinks from Sippin' Safari, the first was a Jim's Special, the second (no photo) was a Caribbean Punch.

Was able to get some Coco Lopez ... So its Saturday night Painkillers

According to Instagram it's national navy grog weekend. Since I don't post personal pics to my Insta/biz page, I'll share with ya'll here....

Had a buddy over so I made a couple rounds of Ancient Mariners (the Bum's take on a Vic Navy Grog). Got the best results from:

1/4 oz homemade allspice dram
1/2 oz Texas grapefruit (ruby red?)
1/2 oz simple syrup
3/4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1 oz Coruba
3/4 oz LH 151

Shake with crushed ice, adding more crushed to fill glass.

Added homegrown mint and Luxardos.

This was seriously delicious.

Tomorrow night I'll have an ice cone ready and probably recreate this recipe exactly.

Lookin good guys

nice- my bottle of dark also has the "ESQ" Extra Smooth Quality logo.

Tanduay is available in the US now, but it's tough to pay $20 for it when friends pay $3 or $4 for it at the source...

Jumping in on #navygrogchallenge2015

Oh, someone should come over and make me some of those.

Just back from Bali Hai. Had the new standard: a Mai Tai and a Paralyzing Pufferfish.

CCB collab with Duclaw:

Impey Barbacane's Moongun session amber ale...

We were treated to some incredible Mai Tais at Brilliantshine in Santa Monica, CA this Sunday afternoon!



Love your pics TBD. They need to cut the straws down on those mai tai's so you can take in the fragrence of the mint as you sip.

good work HTT. re that Dixie blackened voodoo lager-- used to love that. Dixie got wiped out by Katrina though, their beer is contract brewed now up in Wisconsin, aint none of it taste the same no more. breaks my heart...

Aloha Mike and Chelsea: Good to see you got a running start on your Mai-Kai matrimony.

Stuck at home with a car in the shop, I started out with Trader Vic's Tutu Rum Punch, which will be this week's Cocktail of the Week on The Atomic Grog ...

Next, I finally cracked The Mai-Kai's K.O. Cooler recipe ...

Turns out that Mariano combined elements of Don the Beachcomber's 1937 Q.B. Cooler (Sippin' Safari, Remixed) and 1941 recipe (Grog Log). Tribute recipe will be posted soon.

Friday Night Navy Grog.. First attempt at an ice cone .. how did i do ?

Mai kai nailsd the 151 swizzle tonight with the Hamilton. Had four plus a jet pilot. amazed I can type. Or even find this websote: Forgot to take pics. More updates soon as I'll be back tonorrow.
